Rainier Overseas Movers

The movers arrived in Perpignan exactly as scheduled. They were excellent ~ professional, friendly, careful, and quick. 10 out of 10. (And a Perpignan delivery is difficult, as we moved inside the pedestrian area of the old city.)

The movers in Miami were equally wonderful. In addition to being friendly and professional, everything was packed perfectly as evidenced by the fact that nothing was damaged in transit. And they coped with our excessive condo association rules without problems.

I must say we received estimates for less money, but I did not have confidence that those movers were professional or had the ability to move our things properly and without surcharges. This move went EXACTLY according to plan, and exactly according to budget. Remember, you get what you pay for. We wanted a fixed price to have our valuables delivered without damage within an agreed time frame. SUCCESS! We are 100% happy and would highly recommend these movers again.

Final thought: Moving is very important and very stressful. Do you choose a Doctor based on price, or on competence?

Everything went as well as one can expect for an international move, with that many involved parties.
The US moving company Movingstar was very good, both in the preparation phase as well as on packing day.
Doug from Rainier was very responsive during the whole process.
The time it took between arrival at harbor and delivery to our house was very short (maybe 3 days), and also the local company Bridgeway Relocations did a good job.
Overall I'm very happy with the whole move.

Fantastic service all the way from to door-to-door. We couldn't have asked for better. The teams on both sides of the Atlantic were at all times professional, polite and punctual, which made what is an inevitably stressful experience--moving half way around the world--much, much easier. Everything arrived in good order and we were grateful for the regular updates with the progress of the shipment as it was delayed from its original date. Top marks to all involved.

We had a really good experience with Rainier and our contact there, Doug Wiviott. We were given a reasonable quote for our move from CA to NC and the packers in Los Angeles [California Relocations] were excellent — not a thing was damaged or misplaced and the team were very polite and respectful of our home. We had some customer service issues with the subcontractors on the Charlotte end, however, Doug was able to sort this out and ensured our delivery arrived as quickly as possible, after which the subcontractors did a fine job delivering our belongings. I would recommend Rainier for the customer service, quality of service and cost.

This has been my second fantastic experience with Rainier Overseas Movers and I can't say enough good things.

In June 2019, we moved across the country from L.A. to North Carolina. The packers in LA were very efficient and put cloth coverings on all the floors before beginning work, which I really appreciated. Our items made their way across the country promptly and the only hold-up came from the local moving service in Charlotte, NC, who weren't making space for us on their schedule. Doug was extremely helpful during this time and arranged for the movers to complete the delivery before my mother (who was visiting from overseas to help watch our then 1-year-old-son) had to leave.

Everything arrived in great condition and I was pleased with the process and end result.

We moved again this past March from North Carolina to Sydney, Australia. This move was very last minute and Doug made it easy for me to coordinate the packing and shipping process virtually as, due to COVID-19 and borders shutting, we had to leave the country before our items were packed.

The shipment took about three months, including time spent in customs here in Australia. Only one item was broken and another missing, both of which we have filed insurance. I received helpful advice from Doug on how to insure our items should the worst happen (the container fall into the ocean, for example), and was kept updated every step of the way.

Any time I needed to contact Doug via email I had a reply within 24 hours, if not before.

The total cost of moving our goods across the world was definitely cheaper than purchasing all new items here in Australia, and both the customer service experience and quality of movers on both ends have made this another wonderful experience with Rainier.

Hopefully, we won't be doing another big move like that in the near future, but if we do I will know who to call!

I have moved with Rainier Overseas 2 times to New Zealand, from California and also Minnesota. Both moves were executed seamlessly and without drama. Moving with Rainier was initially a random selection, but the second move was a no brainer. Mark Lawson at Rainier makes the process very simple and very organized. Truly a very professional operation and literally the easiest decision to make. I have been very satisfied with both moves, door to door. All you have to do is lift the phone. They do all the heavy lifting. No need to waste your time and shop around for a better deal. Thank you Mark and thank you Rainier Overseas.

We would like to thank Doug and all of the good folks at Rainier for a quick and easy move from Olympia to Germany this summer. Rainier quickly and efficiently provided a good explanation of what paperwork was required (customs forms and local moving companies to pickup and deliver), quotes for transport and potential schedules for vessels and delivery. Doug was always responsive to our questions and provided good updates as the move progressed. The move went smoothly, our household goods arrived within the projected timeframe and we had no damage beyond one pottery item with a broken butterfly wing. We would recommend anyone moving overseas use Rainier as their broker.
